The Nobel Prize in Literature 2020🏆⠀

Just a few days ago, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Louise Glück, one of America’s most celebrated poets.
⠀
The award was announced at a news conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
⠀

❓So, who is Louise Glück?

⠀
Gluck was born in New York City in 1943. She was raised on Long Island and studied at Columbia University. She has taught poetry at many universities and is currently an assistant professor of English at Yale.
⠀
In her interview with Poets and Writers, she spoke about the balance between her life and her work, arguing that “you must live your life if you are going to do an original job,” because “your work will come out of an authentic life, and if you suppress all of your most passionate impulses in the service of an art that has not yet declared itself, you’re making a terrible mistake”
⠀
Glück’s 2006 collection “Averno” is an interpretation of the myth of Persephone’s descent into hell in the captivity of Hades, the god of death. Her latest collection was “Faithful and Virtuous Night” in 2014, for which she won the National Book Award.
⠀
Moreover, she was awarded a 2015 National Humanities Medal by Barack Obama at the White House.🕊️
⠀
However, Louise Glück is the 16th woman to win the Nobel, and the first American woman since Toni Morrison took the prize in 1993.
⠀
Glück, who lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts🇺🇸, will receive 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.1 million) for the award.
⠀
She said she was thinking of buying a house in Vermont with the prize money.🏘️
